Switch to CSS

Your website is like your house or your own apartment. It has the foundation and framework, which you don't want to re-build but it's time to update the wiring, wallpaper and fixtures. It's also a great time to change some of those old paintings and remove a lot of those clothes in your closet that you don't wear anymore.

Rather than budgeting for a completely new website you can have Watt Media clean it up for you by switching from your website's original tabular HTML code to Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).

We can retain the same look and feel of the site, keep the same navigation but re-code your site and make it compatible for today's browsers. While I'm inside "re-wiring" your website, it's the perfect time to edit some of the content, update those old links to other sites, change a few pictures and add a new form. When the switch is finished you'll feel like you've got a new website! Contact me for a quote.

Why Switch to CSS?

1. CSS downloads faster than tabular HTML

Browsers read through tables twice before displaying their contents, once to work out their structure and once to determine their content.
CSS generally requires less code than cumbersome tables.

2. More Accesible

The number of users browsing the web through handheld devices is growing massively. An additional CSS document can be coded specifically for handheld devices, which will be called up in place of the regular CSS document. This is not possible with HTML tabular layout.

3. More Search Engine Friendly

Search engines can often spider CSS-driven web pages more easily as they usually have simpler, better structured HTML code. The search engine can then make a more educated guess as to what the web page is about, so all other things being equal, your web pages will appear higher in the search rankings with a CSS layout.

4. Printer Friendly

When a user chooses to print a web page an alternative CSS document can be called up. This document can specify that formatting, images and navigation disappear and just the page content appear on the printed version.
